LOGINIt was certainly not Zezi because she had never been pregnant and never gave birth to any child. (In fact, she had a hidden belief that it was something that she might just be incapable of doing).Who was Mira's mother? Had the placement of her at the border of the Capital been intentional? Also, Mira had been found as a baby while George was in the pack, married to Zezi, about six years ago. A year prior that, George had not stepped out of the Capital.So how did this happen?The mother had some explaining to do.That led to the main question once again.Who was Mira's mother?George couldn't stop looking at his daughter and sighing.It was just simply impossible.There was no way he had come together with a vampire, a monster he hated with everything, and had a child with her.Just the thought repulsed him; Yet, it had happened.His Mira was an evidence of it.He loved her too much to hate her just because of what she was but he hated himself for participating in the betrayal he had
Delice had gone to visit her little Medallion that night and while she wept by his grave under the pouring rain, she had not expected anyone to come close to her, with a coat to shield her from the downpour.His hidden scent was the thing she noticed first and she had first thought it was Akeem, but the pair of red eyes she saw made her confirm otherwise.Wasn't this Mira's father?What was he doing here, she wondered then she asked to get an answer.He seemed different though, unlike the one that had been irritated with her touch and swore profanities at her face for being a monster, yesterday when she had rescued him from fighting himself.This one seemed gentle, and had no violence behind his red eyes.This one was his wolf."I followed you." He had answered, crouching next to her. "I hitched myself to your carriage. I wanted to get away."That, she understood. The need to escape."Do you not hate vampires any more? What are you doing in my company?""I hate those Bloodsuckers." Th
There had been no attack happening in Mira's room. However, something strange had happened.Lady Delice had seen Mira's father, George, clawing himself and saying defaming words to himself.He was blaming himself for something and it didn't take Lady Delice any difficulty to understand that he and his beast were probably not in agreement on a very serious matter.She had never witnessed something like that before even when she used to be part of a pack.It was very strange. However, she was able to restrain him and for that spilt moment when she had him pinned to the wall, something had flashed in her mind, something that reminded her of this mask she had in her hands right now.It was a brown mask, with deep green floral designs around it.Right after she had ensured that he was in control of himself and she had ensured that Mira was alright, Lady Delice had left the room quite unstable. She had ran into her room and turned her boxes upside down to find this mask.It didn't make sen
Zezi didn't have the time to prepare for all the emotions that flooded her veins, including the pain that certainly wasn't hers.Before he could claim her lips in a hungry kiss that would certainly lead to more, she pulled away, gnashing her teeth in pain, her hands clutching her lower belly before darting to his and seeing it bandaged state, as she yelped.Valerick's dazed eyes widened. The fogginess was immediately cleared out of his head when he realized what had happened.Quickly, he shut down their link."I will get Nicholas.""No, you need to leave." He was tying a towel around his waist. So there was a towel in this bathroom after all. "Don't come back."In a second, he was out of the bathroom. Determined, Zezi followed him.Despite Valerick's protest that he didn't need to be cared for, Zezi had found a way to force him to lay in bed while she straddled him so he wouldn't move. Her face was pulled into a frown, as she tried to do some damage control and wrap a fresh bandage ar
Zezi didn't find Lady Delice and she had tried to see Valerick again but just as expected she had been turned away. That was when she decided to do something crazy.Scaling the walls of the castle.It was absolute insanity, especially considering the attacks that had been happening lately, also because Zezi wasn't the best at climbing walls like this.At a point, when her fingers got tired, she remembered Akeem and how effortlessly he had led her to Lady Delice's room.Where was he? Had he found the other Volakys extract yet?"Wooh!" she whispered, almost slipping.She had to stay focused!Ah, this was fucking desperate. When did she get this desperate just to see him?Pathetic... and stupid too because what if one of these guards below looked up and saw her? They would first assume she was an intruder.As if Nature was confirming just how stupid she was, she looked down at that moment and her gaze clashed with Nicholas'.She was mortified and embarrassed and if her ears weren't decei
Regret threatened to overcome her but this was not the time to think of her past actions and question herself as to why she had made those decisions without thinking properly. Every second was important and she would not waste of by dwelling on the past. If her assumption about the White Circle was right, Zezi knew she would need the help of everyone she could get, and to test Lord Rosil, she had asked her if she really didn't want her head for killing her son."I totally understand if you do. What kind of mother wouldn't want the head of her son's murderer?"Well, it seemed like she had hit a nerve because, after that, Lord Rosil had plenty to say. "The kind her son wanted to murder. That silly boy thought draining my blood would give him magic, then gave his sister a hard time because she had orchestrated my escape. Sometimes, it had felt like he was two vampires, stuck in one body. He has one that played the role of a Governor perfectly, and the other that displays just how much
Zezi's heart was pounding with regret as she ran up the stairs of the castle at an unfathomable speed.Why had she left to watch the execution in the first? She should have never left. She should have never convinced herself that she needed to be at the Execution for all the reasons she had thought i
The chaos raged on beneath, and then the chaos died.It raged on again, died again, still there in the darkness she remained. Zezi had stopped her clawing at the walls and her mad senseless banging to bring the barriers down, so she could save her daughter whose voice her enhanced hearing hadn't brou
"She is going to die."Delice shook off her confusion at Nicholas' previous words, and against her better judgment, she slit her palm open with a broken wine glass. It had been a long time since she had felt pain from simple cuts like this one, watched her blood flow, and felt drained. That was what
Valerick scanned the room as he stepped in before even a word would slip out of his mouth. Only his mate and the little one were there. Good, after his long day, she was the only one he wanted to come back to.Time for accountability."As one of my Turned, I had to feed Delice some of my blood so we w
